'It was a culture shock': Black Eyed Peas' Apl.de.ap on moving from Philippines to US, giving back to homeland

He added that the two of them used to share the same goals, with Apl's dream after moving to the US being to help his family back in the Philippines and Will.i.am's to "help his family out of the ghetto". Back in March, he visited his old school in Pampanga to donate 50 laptops in collaboration with Accenture and Khan Academy.

He added that his Apl of My Eye initiative is to help kids like himself and help prevent blindness, especially in babies born prematurely who could suffer from retinal conditions. He added that it could give extra income to Filipino farmers, who were the "real rock stars" of our world."The Philippines and Southeast Asia are the most affected by climate change, so we have to think about that," he said.
